That awesome God-moment when —
— you’re totally strapped for cash, then see a random friend you haven’t seen in a while, and they hand you cash as a blessing without even asking, and you’re trying not to weep. God totally spoils His kids.

Why do you think Israel kept messing with their blessing? Why did God painfully remind them of His presence? Because it is impossible to be grateful without grief. It is impossible to be blessed without knowing you’re broken. The need for healing acknowledges our default is hurting. Deficit must always precede thankfulness, which then leads us to joyfully obey. There is no other way.
Why are you so worried about the future? Will you get married? Yes. Will they be hot? Shut up, and yes. Will my life count for something? If you point it in that direction, no doubt. Will my needs be met? Why would God desert you, after giving His Son as a ransom to free you? Your future is secure. No matter how it looks, no matter how it feels, it is certain. And it’s good.
